keep Vidalia running. It's even on our FAQ:

should have a different answer for that FAQ.
Wow, yeah, I think we're letting the inmates run the asylum by catering to
that FAQ entry. Have we actually been trying to support that? See also
#4258 and #4262 for similar issues on Linux (which are more recent than
this issue).
I've watched my Mac friends puzzle over why they can't easily relaunch TBB
after exiting the browser but leaving Vidalia open. Most of them get
confused by the extra Vidalia dock icon in other scenarios too.. The whole
user experience on Mac OSX is probably bad enough to cause Steve Jobs to
rise from the grave and ban our app from the app store :(.
Fear the Zombie Steve Jobs.
